The TERRIBLE Kickstarter & Indiegogo BULLETPROOF backpack - SGR

[@Kaluriel]

Facebook group Is probably run by Doug, the perfect cover

[@Octolicia]

Spoiler alert: Doug is the admin and he doesn't want this story to spread. XD

[@thundercat_pumyra]

Lifetime warranty on a bullet proof backpack? Um... so if I get shot to death because this thing doesn't work, I don't get my money back?

[@zombietrash416]

Using the Apple "i" gimmick should be a red flag for everyone that the persons just out to make money.

[@taffysaur]

iAgree

[@TheWarmotor]

Do you think he used Chinese child slave labor to build them like Apple does? Everyone treats Steve Jobs’ memory like he was this great person when he’s caused more innocent human suffering than German socialists prior to WWII.

[@sorryifoldcomment8596]

@TheWarmotor ^Pathetic attempt to change the subject to politics...Why can't we have ONE thread about Apple's crimes? You clearly don't actually give a shit about the human suffering, as this comment is just virtue signalling in a sad attempt to co-opt a thread about Apple TODAY....to cry about "socialism" in one country a CENTURY ago...Not even remotely relevant. Don't despair, though! You might be new to the internet, but there are lots of places to discuss world history and politics. Unfortunately this isn't it. Current topic is current day child labor used by Apple. It deserves to be discussed! Thanks! :)

[@The_Chillton]

Including actual Apple products

[@nicwelch]

@@TheWarmotor So you don’t use any kind of smart phone? They all do it.

[@ArticJane]

I'm genuinely shocked by them not wanting you to report on things and basically hiding the information the Facebook group had been working on I mean I get the view of profiting from a situation but at the same point how does spreading the information not help them...

[@WobblesandBean]

Because they know they're full of it and they don't want justice, they just want an excuse to whine and point fingers

[@WobblesandBean]

Listing the features of the backpack, I honestly thought it was a running gag. I was fully expecting Slopes to list a blender, gas stove, egg timer, and nose hair trimmer.

[@dreamlandnightmare]

The bulletproof backpack wasn't even an original idea. I remember seeing an infomercial for one back in 2011.

[@JargonMadjin]

Admin: "We must expose Doug and his scam!" Slope: "I'll do that." Also Admin: "No, don't!" I think you found the bi-polar admin

[@W3irdWombat]

“He literally bled my family dry” I highly doubt that.

[@DiamondCake2]

Right? You had money to waste on a fantasy backpack, everyone knows these websites are a gamble. It’s like trying to sue a casino because you lost your life savings.

[@mymusicplaylists360]

"He literally bled my family dry...." I hope not! People really need to stop inserting that word just about anywhere.

[@childofcascadia]

Its literally annoying, huh?

[@comettamer]

Merry Christmas, DJ Slope! I find it pretty darn shady how the Facebook group made explicitly to get the word out about this insanity suddenly doesn't want the word getting out.

[@AFantasticCat]

Legal action? Did you actually consult a lawyer on this threat? It seems that if the group had no damages caused by the video as well as nothing defamatory which caused damages then there is no legal action to take. Obviously one can sue anything for any reason so long as they find a lawyer who will take the case but there doesn’t seem to be anything reasonably actionable there if you had revealed the contents of the group. What I could say is that this Doug character could use such content as a base for a defamation lawsuit himself so long as the contents were shown to be false and damaging. I would say that this group is the one to consider the villain here along with Doug. Which is greater who knows, but I can say that trying to hide what you are doing while also claiming that you want to expose the truth is a gigantic red flag... just that interaction with you tells me that the group is not what they claim to be and not to be trusted.

[@stifynbaker2914]

Love the way people throw around the phrase 'military grade' as if that was some sort of guarantee of quality or durability, in complete defiance of the fact that most militaries farm out their contracts to the lowest bidder...

[@alex.thedeadite]

It kinda sounds like he got into the group and is leading it.

[@MelodyOo]

I seem to notice a constant pattern and a struggle in most Kickstarter. product = potential good = loads of demand = Quantity over quality = Disaster.

[@Fjdjfjsz92938]

Not their fault really tho

[@gracekim1998]

I feel like I saw on the ‘when tv goes wrong’ show a moment where someone wore a vest that’s meant to protect you from stabbing and then another guy demonstrated on said person and there were parts of the vest that wasn’t protected…the guy didn’t die thankfully but it was stressful to watch😣 The title made me think back to that 3.12.2021

[@blackhatfreak]

[@SuperNicktendo]

That’s so crazy about this. No wonder so many people are skeptical of indigogo and Kickstarter projects.

[@YoonSnake]

I haven't finished the video yet, but had to comment when I saw the part of the buckle that's supposed to be like what the soldiers use. As a US Army vet, I'll say that the buckles on military stuff are fucking horrible. They'd break or get stuck all the time. I know it was some buzz words thrown in to trick the unsuspecting public, but anyone that knew anything about the military would've told you that it's not a positive selling point.

[@Legitti]

It was Note 7, not S7 tho. But good report anyways!

[@cropathfinder]

"military grade" LMFAO when will people learn that means that it breaks easily and made by the lowest bidder

[@gracekim1998]

The Facebook group thing is very suspicious 😬 Given how contradictory it is

[@caffeinezx4490]

This is one of the only scams I’ve ever bought into. I ordered a backpack when it was first announced. At the time the bulletproof part was not a thing. I pretty much immediately realized it was a scam after every single thing he did had something go wrong or just took way longer than anything ever would. Then one day he posted about how he was adding a bulletproof plate (for an up charge, that was the other thing after the initial purchase they kept coming up with things to add on). I think anyone who wasn’t asking for a refund started asking then.

[@ForrestFox626]

Will this be the last Kick Scanmers of the year? If so, it feels fitting considering this year. A lot of promise gone to s**t.

[@DragonAceSg7]

Anyone else super distracted by the cool color-changing Pac-Man Ghost light in the corner?

[@thesynthscreamcollective]

Happy holidays DJ Slopes

[@TheWarmotor]

My backpack has a sleeve for a body armor plate, and yes I bought an AR500 NIJ level 3+ plate that will stop green-tip 5.56 or FMJ rounds up to 30-06. The bag was $40 and the armor plate was a $75 pair on sale from AR500.com that also go in my end-of-days plate carrier. This guy did not invent the concept, by any means.

[@pjomayo]

I blame the media outlets who hyped up his products

[@Rob-Robski-Fitt]

I could do most of that tech stuff a la carte with my current backpack. Not as fancy or bullet proof but pretty much same stuff.

[@Aldenfenris]

Hah, part of me wonderered at first if the group was a ruse from Dough to gather all the info and then try to stop it from being leaked by threatening people asking to do it, and stuff XD.

[@requiemagent3014]

Whoever made this has no idea how ballistic energy works. Just because something is bulletproof doesn't mean the energy just vanishes. If you wear a level 1 or 2 body armor and get hit with a 9 mm it will save your life but your ribs are still broken. It just redirects the energy over a bigger surface but it's still there. This backpack doesn't make sense at all. Yes it would save you wearing it on the back but holding it in front of you? No chance. The energy has nowhere to go and the bullet would penetrate the kevlar anyway.

[@bradbland9307]

I do like the idea of a hood built in to a backpack though
